    The comic book Thor is almost nothing like the myth. Hey, women use to wear swastika's as his symbol for protection. Do they still do that in scandunavia?

    It's almost like fiction characters can change over time.

    Either you are being misogynistic, or stupid. Pick at least one.

    You are using archaic myths to justify misogyny.

    Taking a historic Superhero character and making it a woman is a good thing. The industry needs fewer people like you, and more young girls.

    Your excuse is the same one every misogynist through time have used. "Historically a man does that, you can't have a women do that!"
    Applies to driving, voting, working, drinking, independent thoughts, divorce, and, yes, comics.

    So you can dress it up however you like, but the rest of us know you are simply a misogynist. You may not even realize it, but you are
    Angry bro? then clean up you act and behave like a civilized person.

    Did you know Thor was the god of fertility, healing? Did you also now they aren't changing the Myth, just a comic character?

    AGW is about the excess trapped energy do you too much CO2
    Climate change is about the impact on the climate from the increase in energy.

    AGW is easy falsifiable science. All the test could literally be done in a decent 8th grade science class.
    Exact to the moment prediction in the climate, that's hard.

    It's important to remember the AGW and climate change are not the same thing, although closely linked, natch.

    It's a counter to the continuing lye that the temperature hasn't been increasing in the last decade.

    There is no debate. It's happening, it's real, it's due to the excess CO2 human have been throwing into the air.

    The debate we should be having is the best way to move forward with clean energy, and looking at any engineering ways we could reduce CO2 back to about 300ppm

    Be we aren't having those becasue people keep lying and denying scientific facts.
    There is a reason denier don't actually talk about the scientific facts, but instead lye and cherry pick.
